Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis

"When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too?

In Why We Can’t Sleep, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X’s predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them."

The Menopause Society (Formerly NAMS)

We grew up in a time when our mothers and their friends didn't talk much about The Change and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was often misunderstood and vilified.

It's important to know that your OB/GYN or Primary Care Physician might not have the latest information on menopause.

The Menopause Society provides up-to-date research on the safety and benefits of HRT and lists NAMS Certified Menopause Providers (NCMP) who can offer the most current advice.

Many women, initially advised against HRT, discover through an NCMP that they can safely find relief from symptoms like bone loss, hot flashes, anxiety, and vaginal dryness with low-dose bioidentical hormone therapy.

Peak Design 
Packing Cubes

I've had a lot of packing cubes and these are the best! They are self-healing, compressing, easy open AND they have a pocket on the back for your dirty clothes. You can watch their quirky demo on YouTube.

I have the Set of 3 (1 small, 1 medium, 1 shoe pouch). It's everything I need (especially when I'm packing my wool& wardrobe).

Yogi Tea 
Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy

Every morning starts with a cup of this tea.  I love it hot, but it also makes a delicious iced tea.  Other Yogi favorites are Peach Bergamot, Calming, and Echinacea Immune Support.

Sofa Buddy

They call this little guy the Sofa Buddy.  

I call mine the Remote Island because I love a good play on words.  

All kidding aside, I love this thing.  It holds tea cups, wide base water bottles, snack bowls, reading glasses and remote controls.  

Cups don't tip or spill (even when the dog jumps on the couch).  Life on the sofa will never be the same.
